§ 39.20-13 - High and low vapor pressure protection for tankships—T/ALL.


Latest version.
  • Each tankship vapor collection system must be fitted with a pressure sensing device that senses the pressure in the main vapor collection line, which:

    (a) Has a pressure indicator located on the vessel where the cargo transfer is controlled; and

    (b) Has a high pressure and a low pressure alarm that:

    (1) Is audible and visible on the vessel where cargo transfer is controlled;

    (2) Alarms at a high pressure of not more than 90 percent of the lowest pressure relief valve setting in the cargo tank venting system; and

    (3) Alarms at a low pressure of not less than four inches water gauge (0.144 psig) for an inerted tankship, or the lowest vacuum relief valve setting in the cargo tank venting system for a non-inerted tankship.
